After watching the Crusaders young side play at the weekend I’m now quite optimistic for the coming season. Cru to win by 10.

[Rob Nash]

Dons to put last weekend behind them and win by 16.

There is too much quality in the side to underperform like that on a regular basis.

With this being the only game on the first weekend of the League 1 season, the winners will be top of the league for at least a week. 

Just hope the weather outlook improves.

Doncaster, RH, Keighley, Thunder, Workington.  Would be a decent accumulator too.

Scuppers my accumulator.  

Nice steady ride up for Skolars in the future though.

And a long  , sorry ride home ...

Yes indeed....and not just for the weather

Cru by 8 if the weather holds (which currently looks a bit unlikely). League Express has the Coventry - Rochdale game as being played - wasn't there something about the York Acorn Cup Tie having to be played mid-week?

[hogman]

Keighley Cougars v Hunslet is postponed due to Keighley playing in challenge cup.

[fevtom]

Hoping for a Cru win but I think normal service will be resumed. Doncaster by 20.

Just to clarify. You think Cru have a better chance in good conditions?

Not particularly - I'm just wondering if the game will have to be called off. Incidentally, if it is that will mean all the L1 first round games will have been postponed!

Crusaders v Donny off due to water logged pitch
